The Market in La Peñita de Jaltemba

By Jack Brummet, Travel Ed.

We went to the weekly market in La Penita today. About 90% tourist stuff and 10% beautiful arts and crafts. So much of the stuff, though, seems geared to the 14 year old demographic, of which I've seen virtually none the entire time we've been here.We did pick up a few things--textiles, a couple bandanas for me, and some gorgeous red snapper, spuds, and a couple bottles of Spanish red.

A "no defecation" sign I saw today in a field in Chacala, Nayarit

By Jack Brummet, Mexico Ed.

This "no defecation" sign in a field is fairly baffling. Shouldn't no defecation be the default/factory setting??

Images of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

By Jack Brummet, History Editor

If you run a Google/Bing/Yahoo search on Martin Luther King, Jr. images you come up with millions of hits.  Of these, there is a core group of about fifty or so that are ubiquitous.   Here are some of our favorite photos of MLK, along with some of the many hundreds of postage stamps created in his honor; a couple of shots of the MLK memorial in Washington, D.C.; and a short video on the National Archives holdings of MLK photographs.

 One more shot of LBJ/MLK

I have never been able to find out more about this photo. I don't 

really know if Martin knew his way around a pool table or not...

What if?

Jesse Jackson, Joan Baez, Ira Sandperl, and MLK.  This shot was taken at a 1964 free speech event.
